Capt’n’s Log: DEC - Dreadlocks, Cod & Christmas Carnage
New Look, Same Skipper If you’ve spotted Jayson lately, you’ll notice the dreadlocks have officially arrived.

Between tool belts, wedding bells, and a cheeky new drop, this month’s been a blast! ⚒️ Back on the Tools Let’s start with Jays, who’s swapped the fishing rod for the toolbelt (for now). He’s been back on the tools with his brothers at Doonplumb & Doonspark over in Yarrawonga. The mullet’s been tucked under the hat in quite a feral ‘ponytail’ - much to his brothers disgu
